*Polly, with four packs of Jello and so little liquid this sounds like
it would set rather firm and not "big" enough. As in firm enough to
use small molds so as to set in toothpicks to eat lollypop style? The
dish I had (and am looking for now) level-filled a 10" Bundt pan and
was just firm enough to slice like you would a cake for serving. I
usually do not care for pineapple, but this was quite good and the
lime flavor was not super strong like this recipe seems it would be.

Hard to know if I've said this right, but can you help me with such
"picky" concerns?

Ugh, now I see that I had read the recipe as 4 packages, not 1 four
serving size pack. With that (picky-see-correction) it now simply
seems that to make the amopunt I want could just be a doubling of all
the ingredients. I do think I remember being told by the hostess that
she used just a little less liquid than was cqalled for, and that the
recipe was on a Jello box! Thank you so, now I think I am set to make
this and will report back!
....Picky2lime+pineapple+jell!!!

Here you go - from the Jell-O cookbook

1 four serving size Jello lime flavor
3/4 cup boiling water ( I'd use whatever juice from draining the pineapple
and add water as needed to equal 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
1 cup thawed CoolWhip
1 20 oz can crushed pineapple drained

Completely dissolve gelatin in boiling drained juice + water to equal 3/4
cup
Combine cold water and ice cubes to make 1 1/4 cups.
Add to gelatin stirring until thickened. Discard unmelted ice.
Add whipped topping blending until smooth.
Stir in pineapple. (you can add mandarin orange sections [drained], a cup of
mini marshmallows and/or 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans if you like)
Pour into serving bowl. Chill until set - about 2 hours.
The Jell-O book also tells how to use a mold. I'll be happy to give you
details if you like. Never any need around here. Polly

Mercy! I surely am glad you read the recipe a 2nd time. Polly
